Oh Wow

"I know I didn’t come, but honey, you never had anyone but your own hands down between those pretty legs before" His gaze dropped to said legs, and I shivered "That’s the first time you’ve had that and it needed to be about you Not aped at hi for the bathrooooey

Then he stopped and twisted toward me, lips curved in a mischievous sort of way "I’ll take care of myself in the shower"

My jaas on the floor

Jax sucked his botto of you when I do it"

Eighteen

Things changed after a guy gave you an orgasuy had done that to otten back in bed while he showered since it turned out that we really were up early It wasn’t even eight in thehi back to that and what itI still wasn’t sure I had co about all of that

So I used that time to take stock of asm, which was pretty epic Part of h I enty-one when it happened But I wasn’t sure what to do with it I mean, what did it mean for me? For Jax? For us?

Oh my God, was there an "us" now?

My heart rate kicked up a notch as I sat straight up in the bed, staring at the closed bathroom door as I held the blanket tofro or anything like that, but he was hu because of the water Suddenly, all of this was so inti and flailing through the townhouse and out into the streets

What was I doing here?

There couldn’t be an "us" that involved orgas and breakfasts I didn’t plan on being here forever and I planned on going back to college in August once I got the approval for financial aid, and that’s what I wanted, right? There was no future between us

I blinked slowly

And I needed to be focused on finding angsta, or worse yet,this Isaiah face-to-face

More important, so ht up in my own head, I hadn’t heard the water shut off, so when the bathroom door opened and Jax stepped into the bedroo it

He had a towel knotted around his lean hps and his hair was soaked, brushed back off his forehead, and his entire body was on display

Yuood enough that I ain

"You want to shower before we head out?" he asked, strolling toward the bed like he wasn’t wearing anything rin appeared "A shower? Do you want to shower?"

I was an irabbed reat idea," I ra not to look at him "You’re so smart"

Jax twisted sideways as I passed him and smacked my behind

I jumped and e over lare, I then realized he hadn’t smacked me with his hand

It was the towel that had been around his hips

And I was not only staring at his muscled back, which, as a nice back, but also his muscled ass "Oh my God!" I shrieked "You’re naked!"

That chuckle turned into a laugh, and I whipped around, al lobes were seared intonaked, and didn’t care Complete lack of modesty there, and that further cemented there could never be an "us" I had e of the soap that smelled like him and the two-in-one shampoo and conditioner It wasn’t until after I showered, had changed intomy wet, combed hair into a bun at the top of

What had been left onthe scar show more clearly Dermablend was serious stuff, but it was most definitely off my face now

"Oh God"

My wide eyes stared back atsun coasting in through the small squareMy face had that peaches-and-crea that no ht side of my face, I knew I looked better without the makeup, but I didn’t walk around with only half of a face

Withoutout starkly againstfrom the corner of my left eye al I could see

"Calla?"

I stiffened at the sound of Jax’s voice and then gripped the sink I couldn’t go out there It was ridiculous, but I couldn’t let hi my breath, I turned toward the door Would it be obvious if I walked out with a towel overstupid I knew this, but Jax had just been kissingly I didn’t want hihin several deep breaths Jax knew the scar was on my face He’d been all up close and personal with ing into the wall, and ed in

I hadn’t locked the bathrooh

He did a body scan, as if he were checking to see if I was injured or soht you fell in here and knocked yourself unconscious or so, but not the led ht profile "I can’t go to breakfast"

"What?"

"I can’t go to breakfast I need to go back to the house" I knew it sounded irrational and stupid "Can we go back to the house?"

Jax shifted and his deni out froo back to the house If you want to go ahead to IHOP, I can get my car and meet you there That would probably--"

"Hell no"
